ÌÇÐÄTV

Workplace Project

Using an agreed work placement which students source with an outside organisation, students think through issues of personal and institutional change-making and transition. Our department's Employability and Placement Manager will be available to support students throughout this project and offer advice in their search and application to organisations, as well as during their placement.

Practice-based Project

Students engage across campus or beyond with ÌÇÐÄTV’s pioneering sustainability agenda or other organisations’ sustainability aspirations and plans. Working closely with sustainability practitioners, students act as a sustainability consultant within a defined organisational area, appraising, assessing and formulating proposals, which would lead sustainable transformations.

Research Dissertation

Students have the opportunity to create a dissertation, policy briefing, article or creative output. Their research dissertation is guided by specialist academic supervision.
